The Nightstalker (Assassin’s Creed III Multiplayer) - shuraiya
This summer, I was one of several cosplayers who were invited by Ubisoft to participate in an elite cosplay group for SDCC and PAX Prime. Our task: to cosplay the new characters from the Multiplayer mode of Assassin’s Creed III.
For PAX Prime, I cosplayed the Nightstalker. His real name is unknown, but the frightened citizens of Boston have dubbed him “Joe”, based on a rumor that one of his victims shouted the name with his dying breath.

Astrolabes show the heavenly vault on a flat surface. This is the only complete example of a spherical astrolabe to have come down to us. The rete records the positions of 19 fixed stars.

A few studies of costumes for my Kharaman Empire culture. Obviously drawn from Ottoman/Byzantine/Mughal and Persian fashion with leggings inspired by depictions of Amazons in Greek art. One idea is that fashion in the Empire isn’t sharply divided between masculine and feminine. There’s more of a spectrum in between the extremes. Also there are a lot of classes and ranks represented here from male and female dancers and prostitutes to soldiers of both sexes, tradespeople, laborers and aristocrats.
